Functions are invited from gifted and inventive college students for a PhD place in Experimental Particle Physics, to hitch the Sussex group engaged on the SBND experiment below the supervision of Dr Clark Griffith. Quite a lot of experiments have proven anomalies in neutrino oscillation outcomes, hinting at a doable further neutrino state past the three current within the Commonplace Mannequin. The Quick Baseline Neutrino (SBN) programme at Fermilab goals to settle the query of whether or not or not the anomalies are actual or not, with a set of three massive liquid argon TPC neutrino detectors: ICARUS, MicroBooNE, and the Quick Baseline Close to Detector (SBND). SBND will start commissioning in 2024, and this venture will initially concentrate on tuning and optimisation of the detector with commissioning information, with the chance to spend a big period of time situated at Fermilab throughout this significant and thrilling stage of the SBN programme. The venture can also contain an evaluation looking for proof of darkish neutrino alerts in SBND information, a doable Past the Commonplace Mannequin (BSM) clarification for brief baseline anomalies seen within the MiniBooNE experiment.
